Rev’It! Kinetic glove The Dutch brand Rev’It! has been tapping into a new aesthetic of late: urban-focused gear that takes cues from adventure riding and tech gear. And their Kinetic glove is probably the best example of this. Available in both muted and lively colorways, it’s a short-cuff motorcycle glove that packs in more protection than most in this style.

Rev’It! claims that the mesh knit fabric provides airflow, but it’s far less perforated than it looks. It is airy enough to keep the Kinetic from feeling stuffy?but ultimately this glove is best suited to the ‘tweener seasons, or moderate summer/winter days. There’s a substantial enough foam knuckle protector up top, and if you flip it over, you’ll find extra protection via a couple of reinforced foam pads, and a section with the company’s proprietary PWR Shield fabric stitched in. The thumb and index finger tips also wear a touchscreen compatible fabric; this feature is hit-and-miss on most gloves, but here it actually works.
